Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

RGRPSH424 - Re-educate horses to manage behaviours and/or transition to new purposes

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Establish arrangements for re-educating and/or transitioning a horse to new purposes

  1. Determine client requirements for re-educating and/or transitioning the horse to new purposes
  2. Confirm business arrangements, fees and timeframes with the client
  3. Collate and review horse history and background information provided by client and/or from other relevant sources of information
  4. Identify individual horse, and establish ownership and industry sector requirements relevant to transitioning or rehoming horses

Conduct initial assessment of the horse

  1. Establish a safe controlled environment to conduct the assessment
  2. Assess horse soundness, conformation, physical features and health
  3. Assess horse behaviour, temperament and ground manner, and determine current level of education
  4. Identify behaviours or conditions that need to be addressed in a re-education and/or transition plan
  5. Record information about the horse and assessment outcomes accurately
  6. Make a judgement about the type and extent of re-education required
  7. Discuss findings, desired outcomes and required action, including costs, with owner or relevant person

Develop a sequential plan to re-educate and/or transition individual horses

  1. Apply knowledge of equine behaviour and learning theory to design an individual horse re-education and/or transitioning plan after initial assessment
  2. Assess safety risks and horse welfare requirements associated with re-educating and/or transitioning individual horses
  3. Incorporate client involvement in plan as required
  4. Ensure diet and exercise requirements specific to the individual horse and consistent with proposed new purpose are included in the program
  5. Record key stages of the plan, proposed timeframes and success criteria

Implement re-education and/or transition program

  1. Establish a safe, controlled environment free from hazards to minimise risks to people and horses
  2. Introduce new tack, ground work, flatwork and other relevant activities to shape behaviour and responses to cues appropriate for new purpose
  3. Expose the horse to new activities, routines and/or environments to assist with transitioning to a new purpose
  4. Devise strategies to manage unwanted behaviours tailored to individual horse requirements
